Well if I can toot my own horn, I had a nack for it right out the gate. But it took a few years till I could grow shit just as good as the dispensary. Number 1 thing is genetics. Then what you grow median you use is the next most important. I don’t use soil, it’s dirty and attracts all kinds of pests, and usually comes with spider mites, fruit flies, etc.I'm not even a smoker. But i will be. A few times growing up but nothing that stuck. (Work testing my whole life)
When i retire i want a whiskey still and about 3 little plants in my greenhouse. For something to do basically.
I would definitely hit you up for advice and info. Seen all your posts on the subject. Very much an art form.
coco coir is the easiest but it has to be feed daily. I’m a lazy fuck so i build automation watering devices in what’s called DRAIN TO WASTE.
How ever my preferred grow median is DEEP WATER RECIRCULATING CULTURE
It’s a hydroponic system where water is recirculating under the plants. The roots hang in the water. Change out the water once a week to once a month. When doing that you have to continually check and maintain PH as well as nutrient strength which is measured in PPM or EC. You also have to control water temperature to a steady 68 degrees or the roots will get root rot which is a fungus. They can’t survive in 68 degrees. I of course have devices that do that for me. Very expensive. But I’m lazy so I paid the costs. Even my hydroponic system cost several thousand dollars. Plus the water chiller was 500.
Picture of my system
It will grow 6 plants that produce 1/2 pound a piece
